Citrine comes from the French word for lemon, and is any quartz crystal or cluster thats yellow to orange. The darker, orange colours were traditionally the best, but today people prefer bright lemony shades to mix with pastel colours. Citrine with man-made colour tends to have more of an orange or reddish caste. Most natural citrine starts life as amethyst until heated in a molten state to change.
